Possible allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible allergy to the applied object.
An anti allergy should help you. Try levocetrizine.

If however it does not help an infection will have to be considered and antibiotics will be needed. So I suggest you get a urine culture tested so that antibiotics may be initiated if needed in 2 days time. meanwhile, start anti allergic medicine.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
